Hi all, I just got my new 7+ JB 128 GB. I was testing the camera and took few shots under various conditions (well lit or dark). Once I zoomed in the pictures in the photos app, the pictures look kinda blurry. When I view those pictures on my iPad Pro 12.9, it's even more obvious. Is it normal? I am wondering if my iPhone camera is faulty or not. Any input is appreciated. Thanks alot.

Yes. Please take a look at the picture. Especially the face of my son. Thx a lot.
That photo looks pretty good to me.

Remember this is a phone camera, limited by the size of its sensor.

This photo is fairly low light, so when the phone applies noise reduction you will lose some sharpness.

It's when you zoom in and look at the hairline that you see it. I've noticed it on some other photos that people have posted here. You need to actually open the image outside of Macrumors' image viewer and then zoom in to see it. I think it's post processing.
 
The iPhone 6 and 6s had this problem. It would look like water colored paint. Or splotches. It's from Apple's horrendous post processing. You're better off with shooting RAW

Thanks very much for all your replies. I am good at photography. Any good camera apps that i should try in order to reduce noise reduction? Thanks again.
